After Action Report
The Hawks buried the Celtics 126-85. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
